With Jefferson Hack, Kanye West, and Peaches Geldof.
Since launching her label in 1999, London-based designer Luella Bartley has delivered a consistently different take on English attire. Her look embodies the British "It" girl, with punk and frilly accents, pearls adorning layered party dresses, and tastefully cropped jackets. The label had a brief stint showing in New York (2001 to 2007), but Bartley returned her brand to London to coincide with the opening of her first stand-alone store in fall 2007.
“I think we just got a bit drunk one night and my friends were like, 'Just do it! Just make your own fashion label!' and I was like, 'All right then! Yeah!'”—Luella Bartley The Guardian
“She's stylishly brought back the mod teenager, added a splash of Blondie and created an ultracool image for her label.”—Plum Sykes Style.com
“Cute but always a little sick—that's my girl.”—Luella Bartley Style.com
